The digits are never used by other vector commands that operate on digits (for example, route-to digits, goto...if digits, etc.) until they are collected.

The vectors on the next several pages illustrate a situation where a caller can enter dial-ahead digits. Note that, in this case, we are requiring the caller to have a touch-tone telephone. Typically an alternative handling sequence should be programmed in case the caller does not dial a touch tone digit before the timeout period.
